Jazz on the Tea Lawn 2024: Carol Grimes and Friends

Carol Grimes is back! Join us on the Tea Lawn for a very special edition of Jazz in the House...

Carol Grimes is a British singer, songwriter, poet and author, a towering presence in the UK music scene; from busking in the streets as a teenager, singing blues and Jazz, to touring internationally with the contemporary classical group The Shout and her two of her solo albums in Nashville and Memphis  it is safe to say Carol is a truly genre-busting artist. Having turned to jazz and blues, her music embraces drama, love - music for night people.

Programmed by Blow the Fuse, who also feature on guitar (Deirdre Cartwright) and bass (Alison Rayner)!

Booking information

This performance will take place on the Tea Lawn at the back of Lauderdale House. 

If you would like to sit together, please book together, as this allows us to assign each booking a socially distanced space.

Chairs will not be provided so please bring either a picnic blanket or a chair to make yourself comfortable. Audience members with chairs will be seated behind those on the ground to make sure that everyone has a good view. If you are booking as a group, the whole group will need to be on chairs or on blankets, rather than a mixture of the two.

We have a limited number of picnic tables and benches available as group tickets – book these early to avoid disappointment. 

If you have a disability or any special requirements please get in touch with us so that we can best accommodate you.

Weather

The performance will continue regardless of the weather unless unsafe. Please plan for all eventualities and remember to bring a waterproof layer and a warm jumper. We prefer waterproofs to umbrellas because umbrellas can obstruct views. Don’t forget that if you are on a blanket the ground may be wet so make sure you have a blanket with a waterproof side or bring a plastic sheet. There are no refunds for shows cancelled due to the weather.

Food and Drink

The cafe/bar will be open selling light snacks and drinks before the performance starts and during the interval.

You are also welcome to bring your own picnic to enjoy on the Tea Lawn as you watch the performance.
